About R.M.

I’m originally from Mobile, Alabama. I was a kid who was curious about business, loved sports, and always found ways to feed that curiosity by building things….from a lawn care business, eBay store, and more. That early curiosity and drive shaped how I approach investing and building today.

I attended Morehouse College. My experience spans principal investing, private equity, and venture capital.

Currently, I run BluePrint Strategy, an independent M&A and investment advisory practice working with private equity sponsors, family offices, and independent sponsors on deal execution and investment analysis. In parallel, I spend a portion of my time underwriting public equities and researching AI, analyzing business models, competitive positioning, and market dynamics across technology and AI. I use AI tools daily to accelerate research, build investment frameworks, and stay ahead of rapidly evolving sectors.

Most recently, I led principal investments and supported multi-division growth at HOORAE Media, Issa Rae's multi-entity media platform, where I evaluated and executed direct investments across venture capital, private equity, sports, and real estate, while supporting leadership with growth across 8 operating divisions.

Prior to that, I worked across venture capital, private equity, and transaction advisory, gaining experience in sourcing, due diligence, and execution across growth equity, buyout, and early-stage transactions in technology, business services, sports, and media.

As an angel investor, I have invested in start-ups including Unspun ( named Time Magazine’s 100 Best Invention in 2021), MealMe (a Top App in the Food & Drink Category on the Apple App Store) among others.

Outside of work, I enjoy film/tv, sports, traveling, fashion, and reading about business, media, & technology.
